    ?Hi, i’m looking for some guidance with the following:

    Using my sundance child theme, for my test site: https://www.bethparrattdesign.com/

    1. how can I add the searchbar to my main navigation (instead of in the sidebar widget).

    2. I created the columns for my footer. How can I clean it up so they are centered on the far left and far right, and also so that the content in there is in each specific column instead of just running. Should I instead do this as col 1 col 2 col 3? Right now I copied some other code:

    #footer-col {
	-moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
	-webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
	column-count:3;
	margin-left: 4em;
	margin-top: .2em;
	margin-bottom: .2em;
	border-top: 1px dotted #b3b3b3;
	clear: both;
	margin: 1.5714285714em 0 0 0;
	}
#footer-col li{
	list-style-type: none;
	}
.site-footer {
	border-top: 1px dotted #b3b3b3;
	clear: both;
	margin: 1.5714285714em 0 0 0;
	padding: 1.5714285714em 0 1.5714285714em 11.17886178%;
}

    3. I need to create a different page for the link “neighborhoods” which
    instead of showing posts, will show photo buttons of different
    neighborhoods (in brooklyn,ny) to choose from. Would this be a static page? I know I need to do this as a template page, just a little stuck on what I would need to put in the template page. (it should still have the sidebar nav..

    4. I need to add a form to sign up for a newsletter. Any suggestions to an easy way to get that?

    Thanks in advance for any help. I wasn’t sure if I needed to post these all in a different thread or if it’s ok I posted them all together!

    Hi Kathryn,

    While, I do appreciate all the help you’ve given, I was really looking for guidance as I’ve worked on this on the side, not my full time, and I took web design courses as well as have books for reference, but thought the forums seemed like a helpful place to have some support when feeling stuck. My first experience with posting was fantastic and helpful with regards to media queries, and I figured out what I was looking for very quickly. The reason I posted again for this thread in the Sundance forums again was due to the searchbar mostly, not the footer.

    The funny thing is, when I checked the syntax errors for the demo site for sundance, (while through a different wordpress platform, i know) I found a lot of the same syntax errors that were found on my test site. See here:
    https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsundancedemo.wordpress.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&No200=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.3+http%3A%2F%2Fvalidator.w3.org%2Fservices

    So, I’ll be sure to go back in and clean everything up. As this site is a test I had not yet gone to do the full validation. I did however, look at the source code in Firefox and did not see these. So thanks!

    No need to respond further. I’ll just mark this thread as resolved so it doesn’t get even further out of hand as it already has.

    Sure, no problem. ??

    For the validation errors, it’s the unbalanced (unclosed/unopened) tags that are the important ones.

    I wish you all the best with getting them sorted out!

    Thanks Kathryn.

    Here are the final answers to my searchbar and footer questions:
    https://pastebin.com/TFaBFhY5 which shows the placement of the code in the header.php and the css for it. The code needed to go within the navigation tags.

    The footer code I resolved as well. I’m sure I will continue to clean is up:

    Thanks again. I figured this out quickly on Saturday when I finally had a proper chance to work on it.
